Alice Through the Needle's Eye

Gilbert Adair

Fiction

Adair's 'third Alice book,' a sequel to Lewis Carroll's Alice stories written so faithfully that, in Timothy Gowers's words, it might as well have been by Carroll himself. Gowers read it aloud to his own children and praised it as an extraordinary feat of stylistic imitation.

  • Timothy Gowers
    “a third volume of the famous Alice books that is so well done (I read it to my children) that it might as well have been written by Lewis Carroll himself.”

    Recommended in Gowers's 2011 blog tribute to Gilbert Adair, where he called it good enough to pass for Carroll's own writing.
